Cellar for up to 6 years. Decant 1 hour prior to drinking. This GSM is a stunning representation of the Southern Rhone wines, showcasing a Grenache-dominant blend with a vibrant red hue accented by purple at the rim. The nose is inviting, featuring aromas of cherries, blueberries, white pepper, and baking spices.
On the palate, the wine reveals fine-grained tannins that create a smooth yet energetic mouthfeel, with flavors of raspberries, cloves, and black pepper leading to a lengthy, spicy finish. Ideal for warm summer evenings, this medium-to-full-bodied wine pairs beautifully with barbecued chicken, cassoulet with duck confit, or can be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif alongside pungent cheeses that complement its deep flavors.
Sourced from sustainably grown Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes from the Arroyo Seco, Santa Lucia Highlands, and Paso Robles AVAs, the Hahn GSM Blend embodies the Hahn Family Wines approach to winemaking. This includes extended maceration, gentle pressing, and cold soaking, resulting in a wine of remarkable aromatic intensity. The use of 40% new French oak helps to soften the tannins and adds subtle complexity to the profile.
The Hahn Family Wines, a second-generation family-owned winery, played a crucial role in establishing the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA in 1991, just 11 years after their founding in 1980. They have consistently supported Monterey County Wines throughout their history.
Please drink responsibly.
